STRIKERS WEAKENING
THE NEW YORK LONGSH0RBMBNS' STRlAE
SAID TO BE NEAR AN END.
Some Of the Strikers Return 70 Work at Places
Where They Are Not KnOwn-Ths Sharp
Tactics Of the Union Boatmsn- Mining Scale
Adopted at Columbus,

NEW YORK, February S.-There was
considerable activity on the piers OF the
river front this morning, and freight was
being moved with much more dispatch
than on any day since the strike. The
time that has elapsed since the 'lOngshore'
men and freight handlers quit work has
enabled the railroad and steamship COM
panies to select, and in some cases train,
sufficient men to keep the freight moving
steadily along. Besides, many Of the
old freight handlers and 'longshoremen are
coming back to work, not at places where
they are known, but where they are least
likely to be known. The Maine Steam
ship Company has got most of its old
hands back. On the Clyde Line dock,
Pier 90, East river, there were 200 men
waiting for the steamer City of At
lanta to reach the dock. Superintendent
Healy said he had all the men he required.
The Mallory Line dock had resumed its
former appearance. Chas. Mallory said
that they were not experiencing any diff
Guilty. The manager at Pier No. 40 said
that he considered the strike ended so far
as it effected their pier. They could get
more help than was needed.
The union boatmen who struck because
they would not handle 'scab" coal, al
though they were satisfied with the price
paid them (25 cents q tom, are also weak
ening. They hesitate to openly abandon
the cause of the strikers, but the rs cents
ton now offered is so tempting that those
who own boats compromise by making ont
hills of sales of the boats to a friend. That
friend goes to the companies and offers
to transport the coal at the ruling
rates. Their offers have mostly been
refused, the companies preferring as long
rs they have got to pay exhorbitant rates,
to pay them to outsiders. 'Longshore-
mems Union No. met in Brooklyn last
night. About 300 men were present.
They were decidedly in favor of cOntinu-
ing the fight. The older men, however,
expressed their conviction that the men
would have TO 90 back before Thursday.
1t is generally believed that the great
strike is about to come to an end. The
Times to-day says: "The fact is, the
failure, even by themselves. They were
refused work when they offered to return.
The Pennsylvania and Jersey Central
probably had the most offers of this kind

Modern Marriages.

Pail Mall Gazette.
Marriage is still only too often bar
gain, but at least it is no longer an en-
tirely one-sided bargain. 1t is tending
towards the only true ideal of lifelong
cOmpaniOnShip- partnership on equal
terms, with equal give-and-take on both
sides.
Women no longer feel bound to render
that implicit obedience which was con-
Sidered de rigueur in our great-grand-
mothers days, and men no longer uni
versally demand it.
Husbands, moreover, are beginning to
learn that their prime duty is not ito
look after" their wives. The very sem
tence is indicative of the most CHASTITY
misrepresentation of the whole ideal
of matrimOny.
The general feeling of society con-
dennis man who lives to rule his wife
on the same principles as pasha rules
his harem. And indeed the whole
scheme of modern life makes it practi-
cally impossible for him to do so.
A married woman enjoys, as rule,
complete liberty during the liyelong
day; and even at night it is frequently
impossible for busy man to escort his
wife. Thus everything turns OH the re,
latiOns between the married couple.
If a girl is really in love with the man
she marries, she may be trusted with
any amount of subsequent freedom. If
not, not.

only two, the Marchioness of Anglesea,
who was Miss King, of Georgia, be-
came Mrs. Wodehouse, and married her
present husband in 1880, and the daugh-
ter of Col. Kirby, who married Baron
Fairfax in 1857. His father, who died
before coming to the title, had married
a Miss Snowden, of Maryland, and
his elder brother, to whom he sue
ceeded, a Miss Benham, of Ohio.
A son of Lord Alfred Paget, of
the Anglesia family, has an Ameri-
can wife-Miss Stevens, of New York;
but she has not and never will have a
title. Viscount Vaudeville, son and heir
OF the Duke of Manchester, married in
1876 Miss Yznaga, of Louisiana, whose
sister four years later became Lady
John Lister-Kaye, baronet's wife.
Allied to the peerage, and having taken
to themselves American wives, are Sir
Francis Richard Plunkett, cousin of the
Earl OF Fingall, who was welded in 1870
to Miss Morgan, of Philadelphia; the
Honorable Hugh Oliver Northcote, son
of the Earl of 1ddesleigh, to Miss Fish,
of New York: the Honorable and

brother OF YarOn Leigh, to Miss Butler,

suit there are number of old bachelors
who are walking around with heavy
hearts. The young lady is typical
Chicago girl, and during her brief stay
here she seems to have captured the adj
mlratlon of every gentleman who came
III contact with her. One day recently
she went in bathing. She had hardly
reached the water when she was APP

Without the least warning he demanded
to know the lady'S name. She refused
to give it, and he was about to take hold
OF her, with the remark that she could
not pass him until she complied with
his request, and she drew back as coolly
as John l.. Sullivan would have done
under the circumstances and dealt the
young cur severe blow over the face
that sent him about his business. There
were number of witnesses to the
scene, and the matter became gossip
about the hotel. 1t resulted in the
young lady being regarded somewhat
i'll the light of heroine by every man
about the hotel at which she was stop
ping. There were three old bachelors
from Philadelphia who had during their
stay here kept very much to themselves.
They impressed every one as being
woman haters. When they heard of
this occurrence to the Chicago maiden
they agreed among themselves to go up
in "a body and present themselves to the
young lady. They were completely
captured by her charming manner and
rare intelligence, and since then they
have been, metaphorically. at her feet.
They have lad her out driving every
day, and they have taken turns in es-

Maggie Mitchell and Danghter.

Long Branch Letter to Chicago Inter Ocean,
There is no more venturesome swim
mer in the West end than Maggie Mitch
ell. Every afternoon at O'clock she
comes over the cliff from her Hollywood
cottage with her daughter Fanchon, a
timid young girl, who has the freshness
of the sea in her face and its light in her
eyes. She wears a bathing suit of jet
black jersey cloth, with tiny buckles at
her knees and black turban knotted
over her temples after the style of the
Rubens MadOnnaS. She is out on the
sand kicking up white pebbles and pink
shells or floating stranded jelly-fiSh long
before the figure in Prussian blue, with
Ochre cap and belt, appears; and as she
leaps to let the Silver-creSted waves
pass, her figure is siihouetted in charm:
ing relief against the shining background
of atmosphere and sunlight. She moves
along for distance of fifty yards or so
till tremendous white cap tries to
climb down her throat, but only sue
ceeds in filling her stomach half full of
salt water and dashing herup in bed
of shells and iSeaweed. She is up and
Oh her feet, like a jack-in-a-box with the
cover open, and filed with as much
merriment as brine; she opens her
mouth, emptieS one ear and then the
other, takes a long breath; gulps down
a remnant of salt water with dubious
smile of relish, pulls the gathers of her
skirt round, squeeZeS her knOtted ker-
chief and falls down in the hot sand,
left leg first, and,5 folding the other
knee in her arms, looks across the sea.

The Modern Girl.

Harper's Bazaar.
The modern girl hardly knows what
she wants, whether it is the higher ed
ucation, an aesthetic wardrobe, love or
fame. She does not always sit at home
and submit to the dictation of her eld-
ers, but teaches these same elders what
is best for them; she plays tennis and
progressive euchre, and flirtS and
does KensingtOn work, and reads
Herbert Spencer, and very often writes;
she dabbles in music and talks theOso-
ply, and, if there are more things in
heaven and earth than are dreamed of
they can be. Withal, she is as restless
as the wind; she does not love the quiet
of home; she lives on excitement: she
goes TO Europe. to the springs, the noun
tainS, the theaterS, the receptions, if
she can get there, or to the modiste;
she can always fall back upon clothes as
a diversion, and, when everything else
fails, she has the nervous prostration
and trained nurse. In fact, the chief
trouble with the modern girl, be she
rich or poor, is that she either does too
much, keeps her nerves on the strain,
and by and by goes to the other extreme
and does literally nothing but consume
drugs, talk of her ills and consult the
Christian scientists, or she has no real
interests, fritters away her time in shall
low pursuits, becomes pessimistic
and dyspeptic, dissatisfied with
herself and all the world, cries,
and questions if life is worth living, and
feels especially blue on holidays. The
remedy for all this is, perhaps, an object
in life; those who are well and unset
fishly occupied do not question if life is
worth living; they know it is; and
whether they are in the shoe factory,
behind counter, at the fireside, in the
kitchen or the dining room, SO long as
they are busy and not shirkingor reach
ing forward for something more congen-
ial, and neglecting present duty, their
minds are at rest and uninyaded by de-
sp0ndency.
